Last update: 5 hours agoWildlife Crime Crackdown: Mangochi police arrested a traditional healer and a kabaza operator after they were found transporting a live pangolin, a protected species, hidden in a carton—another sign Malawi’s wildlife enforcement is tightening. Climate-Proofing Power: Malawi commissioned its first battery energy storage system in Kanengo (20MW/40MWh) to stabilise the grid, cut diesel reliance, and unlock about 100MW of renewables. Solar Expansion: Salima also got a 10MW phase of the Salima-Nanjoka solar plant, part of efforts to diversify away from hydropower. Food Security Support: Japan and WFP backed Malawi’s lean season response with JPY 300 million to help 170,000 food-insecure people, as El Niño risks could worsen hunger. El Niño Warning: Malawi’s climate service warns El Niño could be very strong and bring “compound hazards” in southern districts—dry spells and extreme rainfall at the same time. Conservation Under Pressure: Mount Mulanje conservationists say illegal cultivation is pushing the UNESCO-listed mountain toward a tipping point, even as youths join clean-up and restoration hikes.
